# cameraFlashMode

The flash mode used by the active camera.

## Declaration

```swift
var cameraFlashMode: UIImagePickerController.CameraFlashMode { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The various flash modes are listed in the UIImagePickerController.CameraFlashMode enumeration. The default value is UIImagePickerController.CameraFlashMode.auto. The value of this property specifies the behavior of the still-image flash when the value of the cameraCaptureMode property is UIImagePickerController.CameraCaptureMode.photo, and specifies the behavior of the video torch when cameraCaptureMode is UIImagePickerController.CameraCaptureMode.video.
